Keziah Williams
Died at the residence of her son J. P. Williams, in Henry County, on the 12th  (?) ult., Keziah Williams, a widow lady, in the(73rd-78th) year of her age.  She was baptized many years since by Rev. J. W. Calloway at Philadelphia church in the above named county.  Since that time, she has lived a consistent member of the Baptist Church.  She was a kind and affectionate mother.  We trust she has gone to reap the reward of the faithful in Christ Jesus.  She bore her affliction with patience, and said on a dying pillow, she was ready and willing to go.  May this bereavement be sanctified to the good of her children and friends in general.
